To me, "para ver una pelicula" sounds a bit stiff as what the sentence is trying to communicate is that he/she does it often rather than just once. To me it should be:
Salgo con mis amigos para ver las peliculas

Hmm, I was interpreting it differently, but I see what you mean and you're right. Anyway "ver las peliculas" in that context sounds weird. It's not wrong, but we never say it, it would be "a ver películas".

Hi, I'm practising Spanish translation using the subjunctive for my A2 exam and I was wondering if someone could help me?

The sentence I am trying to translate is: 'When the project is developed air traffic will be denser.'

I know that when you have 'Cuando' in the future tense, it becomes the subjunctive, and is 'the project is developed' a passive? Or does it not become a passive because of the subjunctive?

If I were to say: 'Cuando el proyecto sea desarrollado, el trafico aéreo será más denso', would that make sense? If not, what should I say? (please explain why!)

Thank you

tl;dr: Does this make sense: 'Cuando el proyecto sea desarrollado, el trafico aéreo será más denso' if I want to say: 'When the project is developed air traffic will be denser.'?

Hmm I'm not sure about the use of 'sea' because generally the phrase is 'estar desarrollado'..
It depends on the context of your sentence.
Are you trying to say when the project is fully developed (as in it has finished being developed?) Because then i'm pretty sure it would be with estar ... In the sense 'When the project is (finished being) developed, air traffic will be denser'
check out this word reference page for 'estar desarrollado' and see what you think: http://www.wordreference.com/es/tran...word=developed

ser desarrollado would mean more in the sense it's still being developed. Like you'd say 'empezó a ser desarrollado' or 'está siendo desarrollado'
With 'cuando' it's more likely that they mean when it's finished being developed.

Hope that makes sense. I don't claim to be 100% sure but I'm pretty sure! Hopefully with what I've said we can work it out together :P

That's interesting, thank you . The original sentence came from a grammar worksheet about using the subjunctive after certain expressions (such as 'cuando'), so do you think I should put estar into the subjunctive?

this is going to sound really silly but I was wondering if someone could help me with some Spanish? I want to translate "the old capital" (as in capital city) and I thought it would be "la capital antigua" but on the mark scheme, it says it's "la antigua capital". I thought you could only put masculine adjectives in front of the noun, so I'm a bit confused.
